Board approves JFK pool painting, Holland restroom renovation and RelayHub Medicaid vendor
Summary
The board approved three procurement items: painting at the JFK campus pool ($99,996), first-floor restroom renovation at Holland School ($88,788) and a Medicaid billing vendor, RelayHub, to help maximize Medicaid reimbursement.
The Bridgeport Board of Education approved three contract items the facilities and finance teams recommended: a painting contract for the JFK Campus swimming pool room and ceiling ($99,996), a renovation of Holland School’s first-floor restrooms ($88,788) and a contract with RelayHub to process student Medicaid reimbursement claims.
Nut graf: The projects are capital-funded repairs scheduled to occur over the summer, and the RelayHub contract is intended to increase Medicaid revenue the district recovers for eligible services by using an established vendor that serves many Connecticut districts.
Facilities presenters said the JFK pool project received two bids and the lowest responsive bid was $99,996; work is expected to start this summer and finish before school starts. The Holland restroom project used a state contract procurement method; the single responsive submittal came in over original budget and the board approved the First Floor renovations for $88,788 to proceed this summer.
On student Medicaid billing, the board approved RelayHub as the processing vendor. District staff said RelayHub represents over 100 districts in the state and is experienced in maximizing Medicaid reimbursements for eligible student services.
Each item was moved and seconded during the meeting and approved by voice vote.
Ending: The approved capital repairs will proceed over the summer; the district expects RelayHub’s services to generate additional Medicaid revenue and will monitor vendor performance.
